Oh, gravy, all the way. Think about how versatile gravy is when compared to pumpkin pie. Biscuits and gravy, ham with red-eye gravy, even plain-ass poultry gravy with some potatoes. The only real problem would be caloric, but that’s easily remedied with portion control. Half a cup with breakfast, the other half cup with dinner, and a light, healthy lunch.

I think most people will assume gravy is worse for you, and most people will be wrong. A cup of gravy will give you as much as 2/3rds your sodium for the day, but calories only range from 80 to 250 depending on what type of gravy. A slice of pumpkin pie can range between 250 and 550 calories with as much or more fat than the gravy.

Plus, pumpkin pie isn’t that good, you’d be sick of it instantly. Gravy can be incorporated into almost anything.
